What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a systems based approach in which you and your provider deep dive into the root cause of your illness or disease. Functional Medicine uses detailed, comprehensive data analysis (labs, genetic testing, biochemical factors, complete patient health history, patient report, symptoms and environmental factors) to address underlying disease and formulate a treatment plan that is aimed at repairing the cause to improve quality of life, prevent and reverse chronic disease, alleviate symptoms and improve patient outcomes.
Too often patients are put on medication based on a symptom, which in effect covers up that symptom, which leads to more medication covering up more side effects and symptoms and eventually you don’t know where your symptoms originated. The goal with functional medicine is to heal that originating root cause and restore the body back to optimal health.
When you schedule a comprehensive consultation, we will explore in depth as many avenues as possible. By digging deep up front, we are often able to get to the bottom of complex problems that haven’t been solved, possibly for years.
How it works
The first step in this process will be for the patient to fill out a comprehensive questionnaire that goes back to early life and all health history in between.
We will have our first consult where we discuss these details, determine goals for treatment and decide on any needed testing.
Once your labs are back we will have a follow up visit to discuss those results and determine your treatment plan.
We will have follow up visits very 2-3 months or as needed to follow your progress and make adjustments to your treatment plan.
